Stenciling & Stamping

Who says updating home decor has to be difficult or time consuming? Stencil Decor CreamStix takes both the fuss and the expense out of decor updates. Easy to use, with a variety of popular colors, CreamStix will become a staple for every DIY home decorator.

What's So Special About a Stick?

The paint in Stencil Decor CreamStix is the very same formula in our Dry Brush paint, but in a container that's easier to use on the go and contains the perfect amount of paint to stencil an average sized room.

CreamStix have the best features of Dry Brush paint:

  • self-sealing formula guarantees fresh paint every time
  • no drip formula ensures no mess and no stencil run-unders
  • easy to shade and blend for a unique, hand painted look
  • colors are from the same palette as Dry Brush with the same names for easy color matching!

With bonus features that only CreamStix can offer:

  • unique twist container provides easy access to paint
  • space saving container fits easily in apron pocket, ensuring fresh paint at your fingertips whether on top of a ladder or sitting on the floor
  • can be used with foam stamps -- accents and motifs can perfectly match overall stencil

How Do I Use CreamStix?

If you've ever used Dry Brush paint, then using CreamStix will be second nature to you. If you've never used stencil paint before, CreamStix is the perfect paint to get you started.


  1. Open container and break paint seal by rubbing CreamStix against a paper towel.
  2. Make a circle of color on a blank area of your stencil or palette.
  3. Pounce stencil brush into color until all the color is pushed up into your brush.
  4. Plot brush on paper towel or blank area of palette to remove excess color.
  5. Stencil!
